You waste your money and in the end all it does is raise the cost of health insurance/healthcare for everyone else. I don’t know if it is just me, but I really tend to judge people when I see them smoking. It just seems like such a waste of money and unsophisticated. Your a Idiot, Who cares what other people do. What if their was free healthcare. then you would still complain i bet. > [@Paintball..where?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/paintball-where/35072/15): > > Ban it altogether. Ban Alcohol also and legalize marijuana. oh wait that will never happen.

To which I’ll reply, “there are only so many jobs in that industry in pittsburgh that fit the bill”. Sure they could move to California, or New york, or Minneapolis, or Denver, or Boulder, or Charelston, or… but it’s a wait job, you aren’t going to move for that and I would bet that a large portion of the staff is here as students just looking for extra money. > > The government regulated the coal industry. While black lung may kill you sooner than cigarette smoke, the long term effects of smoking or being in a smoke filled environment are just as tragic. Get another fucking job like Mcdonalds. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/smoking/196054)._
